WHAT PAST VOLUNTEERS HAD TO SAY:
“I loved being able to move in early and meet people without the chaos of classes and everyone being on campus. It made transitioning into living on campus A LOT easier. I thought it was a great opportunity to get close to others too, since everyone on the housing team was working together with the same goal in mind.”
“I made a lot of friends and we all still talk to each other. I wanted to move in early to be able to meet people and see the campus, and this experience allowed me to do exactly that.”
